How Did You Hear About Me?

Message

Hi Fiona
I’ve just returned from honeymoon and wanted to say a HUGE thank you for playing for us on our wedding day. I’m sorry I didn’t get chance to thank you personally on the actual day, i’ve never been pulled from pillar to post so much in my life!! I also wanted to thank you for playing Sleeping Beauty for my niece, it’s all she’s spoken about since! You really made her day. Match of the day went down a treat too, lots of people asked me if they we’re right in what they heard, I loved it…

Lucy

I should like you to know how much we appreciated your playing on Saturday at The Chalk Farm Hotel. We were lucky to be at the table nearest to you and my wife and I – and, indeed, the other diners at our table, enjoyed the music hugely. The fact that we were talking a lot does not in the slightest mean that we were unaware of the music, but you went before one could properly thank you.
It must be odd to be seemingly ignored when you are playing so beautifully. Rest assured, there were many…

Stuart and Monika

Markus & I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to you for providing the amazing and beautiful harp music that you played for us on our wedding day. It was the most beautiful sound thatI had even heard and was very moving too.The music was so fitting for the day and everybody said how beautiful it was.
I know that you stepped in at the last minute when Alex had the opportunity of playing in Norway and I can not thank you enough for that.

Paula & MArkus

Hi Fiona, just wanted to thanks on behalf of Sam & Richard, for your brilliant performance at their wedding. Your playing was superb, and you were so good to let the kids have a go on your harp too. You really did make the day so special of all of us, and you’re such a lovely lady too. Thanks a million, you’re a star.

Just to say thank you so very much for playing so beautifully at our wedding on Saturday. I’m just sorry I didn’t get the chance to say hello, the ceremony bit whizzed by and then it seemed we were whisked here, there and everywhere! Thoroughly enjoyable though.
Thanks again, your music made it just a bit more special.

We just wanted to thank you very very much for your lovely music on our wedding day. I’m sorry that I didn’t get a chance to thank you on the day – it was all a bit of a whirlwind to be honest! Your music during the ceremony was perfect and just what we wanted. The harp sounded amazing in the room and all our guests commented afterwards on how great you were. Thank you also for your help before hand with song choices etc. – I’m so glad we chose you to help with this part of the day.

Lucy & Matt

Hi Fiona , just wanted to say how you and your harp made our wedding day ” The Perfect Day ” that it was ! Will never forget the sound of your harp music and how kind and friendly you were in helping us to pick our music ! X

Sharon Mayes

I just wanted to thank you again for accompanying me so beautifully and sensitively at Becky and Ryan’s wedding on Saturday. Having sung at so many of my friend’s weddings in recent years, I really can say how grateful I was to have live accompaniment (and on a harp!!), and from such a competent player. It really made the whole thing so much less stressful knowing that I could completely trust you. I really enjoyed hearing you play as well! 🙂 I hope perhaps our wedding music paths might cross…

Lucy

Hi Fiona, just want to say that my husband and I felt so lucky to have had you play the harp at our wedding ceremony. You played flawlessly throughout the event and our guests couldn’t stop signing your praises afterwards. Your music added a beautiful touch to the service which we really appreciate – thank you!! (January 2017)

Salma

We just wanted to drop you a quick email to say a huge thank you for bringing such a special touch to our wedding. It was so lovely to see a smiling familiar face at the top of the aisle after the initial shock of the walk down the aisle wore off. The beautiful sound of your fantastic skill was just perfectly in-keeping with our day and just added the most amazing vibe to the ceremony and the drinks reception.
Thank you so much for being so wonderful in the lead up and for keeping me so calm …

We were very well entertained by Fiona Hosford, a professional harpist, who played a variety of pieces on her harp. These ranged from Gershwin to Satie and Bacharach among other composers with Fiona ending the evening with a tour de force performance of David Watkins’ “Fire Dance”. Fiona also explained the workings of the harp, gently demystifying the instrument (which many might only know from the side of a foaming glass) and bravely allowing more enquiring members to touch and apprec…

Fiona Hosford played at our Wolters Kluwer Financial Services EMEA Client Conference’s champagne reception, at the 18th century Maison de Sylvie in Chantilly -France. After being so accommodating as to actually travel all of the way to France she produced a playlist that delegates found enchanting and amusing. Her humor and charm shone as she played and talked to our party of International clients, who of course were intrigued by such a wonderful instrument. From the Renaissance to Radio head …

Emily and Matt

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding! You made our day extra special and all of our guests loved the harp and the lovely songs you played. You have been a pleasure to work with and we look forward to seeing you again in September at my parents Ruby! xx

Amanda & Dean

I just wanted to thank you for playing at our Wedding last Wednesday in Rye.
You were very kind to a nervous groom and cheerful too! You played beautifully and really helped make the occasion wonderful. It was definitely your playing, when I walked up the stairs to meet the Registrar before the ceremony that set me off emotionally! And it was great just listening to your playing when there was a delay at the start, waiting for Louise to come in. That’s something that a CD player is never goin…

Fiona played at the official opening of a new state of the art cemetery – Kemnal Park.
It was a unique venue with a challenging audience for an artist to perform to.
Fiona’s performance gave the event the magic that it required; it was tender, gentle, and totally spine tingling.
